SCIP<\/h2>\n

From January 5, 2021<\/strong> As a supplier of goods, you must submit information to the SCIP database at ECHA if the goods contain more than 0.1 percent of a substance on the EU Candidate List. The requirements do not apply to retailers who only sell goods directly to consumers.<\/p>\n

SCIP<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 is the abbreviation for\u00a0Substances of Concern In articles as such or in complex objects (Products)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

ECHA has collected detailed information on their\u00a0homepage<\/a> which may be helpful. On 19 November 2020, ECHA also conducted a training on SCIP. To view the presentation (in English) afterwards, click the button below.<\/p>\n\n

EPREL \u2013 energy-labeled products\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

From 1\u00a0<\/strong>January 2019<\/strong>\u00a0is the law to enter information about energy-labeled products into a new database \u2013 EPREL (European Registry for Energy Labelling). Manufacturers or importers of energy-labelled products are responsible for entering the information into EPREL and the information must be registered before the products are placed on the market.<\/p>\n

The database is EU-wide and in Sweden, the Swedish Energy Agency is responsible for providing information about the database and ensuring that actors comply with legal requirements.<\/p>\n

Retailers who need a new energy label or a new product sheet will be able to download or print these directly from the database.<\/p>\n\n

The Act on Tax on Chemicals in Certain Electronics<\/h1>\n

Everyone who professionally handles electronics needs to see if and how they are affected by this law. The law covers all electronics that are classified according to the so-called CN codes specified in the law, based on the customs nomenclature that applied on January 1, 2015. It is therefore important to have the correct CN code classification.<\/p>\n

The chemicals issue is technically difficult and the law includes an excise tax based on the EU's customs codes, which are difficult to interpret. We have therefore seen it as an important task to facilitate understanding of the requirements in the law. Svensk Elektronik has, in collaboration with Teknikf\u00f6retagen and other relevant industry organizations, produced a fact sheet. Teknikf\u00f6retagen has also produced an FAQ document. You can find these on the member-internal page.<\/p>\n\n
